"In fact, we are seeing lesser and lesser people bid in government contracts. It's a tough time until the government decides to pay. The outstandings are huge. As you know, I also sit on the Nasscom executive council. Nasscom had done a survey on all its members and Nasscom pointed out that there is more than Rs 4,000 crore that is owed by the government to the industry," said Dhawan.

She, however, added that the problems being faced are bound to get sorted out soon.
